Need help identifying this bike

-
Here's a 1910 Shapleigh catalog page showing a similar model.

Thank you for the heads-up .. rollfaster !!


Both machines, Cast Iron guy (first machine) AND petritl (second machine)
are both Davis-Built. Second machine has no information as to who the
distributor was ... could be another hardware company like, Mumford & Son
Hardware Co.

Davis may have wholesaled the same model and color scheme machine to
seventeen different distributors.

cds2323 provided what appears to be a 1910 catalog illustration of the same
(as above) bicycle. The illustration features the same pedals, saddle, handle-
bar, and round-in-cross section crank.

The machines differ in the chainring design compared to the illustration.

Also ... Cast Iron guy's machine features a crank locknut that is of the pin-
spanner
variety ... the illustration and petritl's crank locknut are not shown.

CORRECTION as of 10:44 P.M. EST ... it has now been photographically-
established that petritl's crank locknut is of the pin-spanner variety.


Waaay kool to see two survivors in roughly the same degree of survival.
